This varies:
For most people, 1-2 lbs per week is safe. So, 4-8 lbs per month would be about right under most circumstances. But, it's superior to focus on healthful behaviors (eating right and exercising in enjoyable ways) than to focus on the scale. Weight does not tell the complete story of health. Also, when people are trying to lose weight they'll notice that their weight varies up and down. Don't stop.

Not advised:
Loosing weight very quickly can be done but is not advised because of several reasons: Methods to achieve rapid weight loss(diet pills, severe diets, etc) are not sustainable. Inevitably such methods result in RAPID weight gain as soon as they are stopped. The faster you loose, the faster you will regain. A 1-2 pound weight loss per week is max recommended. Equals 50-100 pounds in a year!

Calorie count:
Losing or gaining weight is a balancing act. Calories in versus calories out. If you take in more calories than you use in a day then you gain weight if you use more calories(like exercising) then you take in(eat) you lose weight.
This does not hold true if you have any medical conditions that would change the equation.

If you loose weight:
Too quickly you are in danger of yoyo dieting. You gain weightback and then loose it again over and over. This is not good for your health. Slow and steady weight loss is safest and more long lasting. See your doc or a nutritionist for a good food plan, exercise, and the weight will come off slowly. Keep your focus on your health, not the scale. Peace and good health. Low carb is good.
